The coming relationship crisis

We are on the cusp of a coming relationship crisis.

Since people can download podcasts from great Bible teachers, and since people can access great libraries of theological books and articles at their digital fingertips, it is more important than ever that our small groups enable people to connect with each other as a context for enjoying and understanding their connection with God.

People need people more than ever.

When we run church, we typically spend around a third of our time hearing the word of God read and taught. Another third is spent singing and speaking to God. The final third is spent speaking and listening to each other.

This trilogy of corporate worship provides an excellent integration between the relationships that exist within the gathering of God’s people.
